In the morning, the cold sun rises in the east.

Li Yiqing got up very early, she only leaned on the bed with her clothes for a while last night, and only closed her eyes for a while when the rooster crowed, and then turned over and put on her shoes.

went to the mirror and carefully sorted out his clothes, looked at the somewhat faded feather makeup at the corners of his eyes, lifted the small pen, was stunned and put it down, and simply washed it off with a basin of water.

When I went out, the sky was still a dull gray, and a little orange light had just sprouted from the sky. However, there are already disciples in the courtyard who are practicing, and there are only two people in the top 16 of this autumn competition, Li Yiqing and Shen Qi, which are now gradually winning the first place in Bowang, which is also a small shame.

The perseverance of those difficult days in the past has now been released, and every disciple has a strong heart in his heart, and it is the time for the whole group to be united and active.

This picture did not bring the girl's heartfelt smile as in the past, she greeted as usual, and was about to walk away alone with her sword, when a disciple handed over a piece of paper.

"The head of the house sent it to Yang Lou Street."

Li Yiqing was stunned for a moment, took it and took a look, and saw that it was not a big deal.

"Ethereal Qing, I'll ask you again, the first thing in the Sword Cultivation Academy is understanding, and understanding is divided into learning swords and using swords, when it's time to play swords, it doesn't matter if there are some small deviations in the moves, remember to put the aura out. If you have a problem with the theory of the sword, don't be restrained, it's not beautiful to read according to the script, although you usually have those wonderful ideas. ”

Flipped it a bit, and there was still one behind.

"You weren't in a good mood last night, I thought about it after I left, and I guessed what was going on - yesterday the Xianrentai meeting, was you outside the courtyard?"

"You don't like to tell me, and I don't know the details, but according to Master's experience, this kind of thing always requires some strategy, and if it is all based on reckless enthusiasm, it will inevitably be lucky. I see, you're out of luck. ”

"I don't think you should ask Shen Qi anymore, she is ten years older than you, but you didn't see the stupid look when the love first opened, and there is no serious one now. Two stupid children and a dog-headed military advisor like this, how can you not make a mistake in this matter. ”

"Don't be really sad, put it aside for the time being, wait for two days to be a little free, and Master will personally come to help you palm your eyes."

Li Yiqing gently pinched the edge of the paper, lowered her eyelids, and the last two lines were:

"Don't be nervous about today's sword test, even if it doesn't work, the master will help you find a way."

"It's cold."

It's just a sticky note that's handy. Although the old man had been persuading her not to be nervous, he himself had obviously been thinking about this matter since he went out last night - Cui Yu's ability to send a disciple to the Sword Cultivation Academy was not only a major event for the sect, but also definitely the old man's real joy and pride.

Li Yiqing folded the paper and put it away, still a little unconscious, the emotions of the past two days were too boiling, and they fell suddenly, and now her perception is separated by a layer.

But she knew the importance of the sword test, so she came to a separate courtyard with a sword and continued to carve "Yellow Jade".

The girl tried her best to dance the sword with her heart, but her mind still drifted to the wrong place, especially the wound that had just been cut open by herself last night, and she couldn't help but wander above it, as if she wanted to find a way to heal it, but just a touch made her heart clench.

Basically, after practicing subconsciously for nearly an hour, the sky was already bright, Li Yiqing straightened his dress, and then picked up his sword and went out.

——

Nagado Martial Arts Hall, West Courtyard.

"Tuk-tuk."

“.”

"Tuk-tuk."

“.”

"Tuk tuk tuk!"

“.”

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

"What are you doing?"

"It's almost noon, and you're getting mold in there." Yang Yan frowned and shouted, "Hurry up and come out to practice the sword." ”

"I'm not practicing today."

“？”

"See for yourself first."

"I-"

What do I want you to do if I can see it?!

Yang Yan glared, really wondering if Pei Ye was in possession of some evil, he went out yesterday and came back as if his spirit had been absorbed. But he couldn't tie up the boy and force the sword sutra in front of him, so he had no choice but to leave.

In the room, the sunlight shines through the window lattice, and wisps of light and dust ripple in the air.

The bed was messy and crumpled by the overnight rollover, and the boy who lifted the quilt from his head lay like a zombie, staring at the beams with his eyes stunned.

There was only silence in the room, which had been brewing all night, and for a long time he whispered, "Kitten." ”

The black cat closed his eyes and cultivated.

"Kitten~" He turned over and pinched the black cat in front of him with both hands, and the black cat opened a pair of calm blue eyes.

"Why am I still so uncomfortable?"

“.”

"I said no." Pei Ye turned over and complained, "I've said it all. We are very good friends and it must be sad to reject her later. We can't talk happily together anymore."

The young man really felt a deep pressure in his heart, and lowered his voice: "What do you say, 'If you don't like it, just refuse it directly'." ”

The black cat closed its eyes again, and since it had opened its mouth once the night before, it seemed that it had lost interest in this childish thing.

But the boy is just looking for someone to talk to himself.

But anyway, I've refused." Pei Ye was stunned and whispered, "No matter how uncomfortable it is, I can only get through it now. Ethereal must be a lot more uncomfortable than I am."

With a sudden jerk in his heart, Pei Ye curled up with the quilt in his arms, and half-buried his head in the quilt.

The black cat finally spoke, with a cold interest that had not been seen for a long time: "Pei Li, can you not be like a maggot." ”

Pei Ye remained motionless and ignored it for the first time.

Then he suddenly heard a faint greeting from outside the courtyard.

"Li Yiqing, are you looking for Pei Li?" Yang Yan's surprised voice.

A few days ago he must have been depressed and wanted to avoid it, but now his heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell what he felt for a while—he even seemed to feel a wave of surprise.

"Nope." The girl's voice was lower, so weak that it made people feel distressed, "I'm here to practice the sword." ”

"Oh, I'll call Pei Li." In Yang Yan's mind, the "sword practice" of his friends was of course bound to Pei Li.

"No, no! Don't go! I'll just practice on my own."

"Oh." Yang Yan was inexplicable.

The voice disappeared, the familiar footsteps were far away, and another familiar footstep that Pei Ye didn't care about returned to the courtyard.

Pei Ye realized that he didn't know when he had sat up suddenly, and one leg had moved off the bed.

The room was quiet, and in the discomfort and depression, the young man's heart hung up again: "Kitten, what is she doing in the Changdao Martial Arts Pavilion?" ”

"I'm not looking for you anyway." The black cat said flatly.

“.”

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, and his heart slowly drooped back.

Yes, not looking for him anyway.

When the girl came to him, he had to hide, and if he didn't come to him, he couldn't go to the girl. He is not suitable to take care of this matter now, he must be broken clean and thorough, and he has no position to ask what the girl does.

But can't you just ask as a friend? I saw it, and asked casually, isn't it normal?

Pei Ye was stunned.

No.

Self-deception, you're not really curious, just an excuse to keep talking to people.

Pei Li, you were stupid enough yesterday, and you have to look like a man today.

He leaned back slowly, and fell back onto the bed again.

On the martial arts field, Li Yiqing was already standing in the center, looking at the ground in a daze.

When she just passed by the West Courtyard, she thought of those days earlier, and the two did not know each other, she lived in the courtyard, and the teenager would pass by here in the morning.

This memory made her heart hazy, and now that she passed, she didn't dare to look that way, but she faintly hoped that she could happen to see that familiar figure. And then. Say hello as usual.

It's sure to keep her entertained all day.

But I didn't see it.

But he met Yang Yan who was going out, and when he asked himself, Pei Ye must have heard it inside. Did he feel that he was pestering him again, and when he rejected Yang Yan, he should have breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yiqing thought in a daze, and suddenly a voice sounded clearly and softly in her ears: "What are you waiting for?" ”

The girl came back to her senses in shock, and hurriedly raised her sword, wanting to hold a sword salute, and remembered the master's request last night, so she didn't hear it, drew her sword, and paused for a moment.

"Don't be nervous, let's get started." The voice said again.

This important moment came so casually, Li Yiqing was in a slight trance, and raised his sword and put on a gesture.

When the Sword Academy was formally selected, the process was much more complicated and rigorous, but now all the criteria only belong to the eyesight of this adult, Li Yiqing had thought about it for a long time a few days ago - the most important thing in this sword performance is to reflect the sensitivity and understanding of the sword.

A [Treading Water and Picking Scales] suddenly lit up from Tsing Yi.

The endowment will naturally manifest itself in the process of learning and using the sword, and what the girl has to do at this time is to "use the results of her sword learning smartly".

There are six styles in total, and the girl plays the first time, at this time, the focus is not on the lack of each move, but on the connection between the two moves. Li Yiqing is still mainly based on the sword scripture, and adds some intuition about his own practice of this sword technique, and does not deliberately use the amazing ideas shared by Pei Li to pull the banner.

After using it all over again, the voice sounded in my ears: "Not bad. ”

Li Yiqing's heart was slightly relieved.

Pei Li's heart tightened.

He had just passed by the gate of the martial arts field as if nothing had happened.

Fetch water and wash up.

Holding a basin of cold well water, his hair was messy, and his eyes glanced into it casually, and the familiar light figure suddenly came into view.

He certainly won't stay, but he always has to fetch water for washing, and he doesn't like to use the well in the yard.

You always have to pass by to fetch water, and there's nothing to look at at at it casually. However, the moment he saw the girl's sword dancing posture, he was stunned and understood the meaning of the girl's trip.

He had participated in the assembly yesterday, and Sui Zaihua was in a dark place near him, watching all strangers who approached. And the girl's desire to study in the Sword Academy has been mentioned for a long time.

So. Today is such an important day for her.

What is going on now is something that is so important to her.

Affects the height and destiny of almost a lifetime.

Pei Li's heart suddenly pinched, and after standing still for a moment, he immediately ran back to the courtyard to put down the water, casually picked up a sword, tensed his body, and walked into the martial arts field lightly and silently, standing in the corner.

I didn't think about how inappropriate this behavior was.

At this time, seeing the girl standing quietly after dancing the sword seriously, the young man frowned and clenched the hilt of the sword with his hand.

- There are at least five things wrong with this set of drills just now.

Two are extenuating, two places he once mentioned to her, but it is difficult to change for a while, and the remaining one is definitely a place where points will be deducted.

Li Yiqing really didn't notice who came in behind him - it was normal for someone to enter and leave the martial arts field.

She took a deep breath and resumed her sword.

The second time is a set of sequences that she arranged by herself, this set of changes is not very effective in actual combat, but it does show her thinking and sensitivity to the sword in place, which is suitable for practice here.

The [Washing Tree Bronze Shadow], which has just been mastered for a long time, has not had time to be compiled, and now this order is: [Immovable Dangerous Wind], [Treading Water and Picking Scales], [Broken Leaves], [Hiding Clouds and Catching Birds], and [Sweeping Fire and Piercing Waterfalls].

Quietly shaking the breeze, the thin blade is silent, in the two successive transformations of brisk and vigorous, the girl's control and understanding of the sword are fully revealed, and more importantly, the deep understanding and wonderful use of the sword theory reflected in this set of choreography.

This set was used up, and the field was quiet for a while.

Pei Li's eyebrows straightened, and his heart slowly lifted - there were at least thirteen mistakes this time. But fortunately, the stunning colors are also eye-catching, and in terms of admission to the hospital, this time is actually better than the first one.

Because mistakes can always be fixed, the upper limit of talent is there.

But it's also more dangerous.

Pei Ye knew that what was reflected in this time must have moved the adult, but he also obviously saw that the girl's grasp of this set of things was actually a little difficult.

It's not that there is no talent, but that there is a lack of time for sufficient precipitation and tempering.

Then when the old man made a deeper interrogation of him, whether the girl could catch it became a question of hanging high.

Be quiet for a moment.

Pei Li couldn't hear anything, but the old man's voice had sounded in the girl's ears again: "Between your second move and your third move, there was a jump. ”

The girl was startled.

"When it came to the fourth move, it fell back again." The old man continued in a calm voice, "It's good that you handled such a mutation smoothly. But I want to take a clear look at the straight up and down of these three moves. ”

The girl's heart was relieved.

The old man's problem is a deep dig into this set of sword moves, because "smoothness" will cover up a lot of problems, and the old man wants to lift this veil to see if the skeleton underneath is vaguely passed by her, or solid.

And she, of course, built it out clearly.

At the moment, the middle three tricks were used again, and this time, [Broken Leaf Huilan] was so clearly highlighted.

The girl slowly withdrew her sword, suppressing some heavy breathing, her eyes slightly brightened.

Pei Ye didn't know what kind of question she received, but this time he was clearly seen by him when he took out the sword, and he couldn't help but clench his fist excitedly.

It's really precise and beautiful.

Then there was a moment of silence, and the old man's next sentence sounded in the girl's ears: "This style of sword moves and the other four styles seem to be a little different in nature, can you use the sword to answer for me?" ”
